Description
The Stainton War Memorial is located in a grassy area on the north side of the road through the village of Stainton. Constructed from freestone sourced from Stainton Quarry, the memorial stands approximately 3.5 meters tall and takes the form of an obelisk, which is square in plan and rises from a capped plinth. The plinth is set on a square base and step, with both the obelisk and the plinth cap and base being rough-hewn.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "LEST WE FORGET/ IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS TOWNSHIP WHO/ FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-18/ (NAMES)/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
